Abstract:
This research aims to 1) Develop a Blended training Model, 2) Study the effects of employing this blended training model to bolster professional competency, 3) to present a blended training model. The research sample consisted of 30 operational staff from a private company, Purposive Selection for this study. The tools used in this research included: 1) the blended training model, 2) a training plan that aligns with the blended training model, 3) a professional competency assessment form. Data analysis methods included calculating frequencies, percentages, means, standard deviations, and One-way repeated measures ANOVA. The result showed that the developed blended training model consisted of five components: 1) training objectives 2) trainers and trainees 3) technology media 4) training processes 5)measurement and evaluation and consists of three stages: 1) preparation for blended training, 2) during the blended training, 3) after the blended training, and is divided into seven steps: (1) Introduction and Knowledge Sharing (2) Real-world Scenario Study (3) Problem Analysis and Problem Solving (4) Knowledge Enhancement (5) Knowledge Sharing in Learning Communities (6) Discussion (7) Evaluation and Assessment 2) Participants trained with this blended training model showed significantly higher professional competency after training compared to during training, and higher during training compared to before training, with statistical significance at the .05 level.
